Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Add the boneless chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat while the chicken is marinating.

  3. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Add Lemon Slices

    During the last few minutes of grilling, place lemon slices on the grill to caramelize them slightly. This will enhance the flavor.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with grilled lemon slices.
